Thursday, March 13. Angus and Peter Macdonald were tried for assaulting and robbing Angus Macdonald and Donald Macdonald, at Lochills Wood, in the parish of Kincardine, Perthshire, on the 4th December last. The pannels pleaded Guilty to the indictment, to which they afterwards adhered before a jury. The libel was restricted by the Solicitor-General to an arbitrary punishment, and the Court sentenced them to be transported beyond seas for fourteen years. The pannels are brothers, and both very young men.  The Scots Magazine, 1 March 1817.
